ICEYE is a Finnish operator of the world's largest SAR constellation (70 satellites launched since 2018, 25cm class), profitable at the operating level with FY25 revenue above EUR 250M (+100%) and EBITDA above EUR 100M, a EUR 1.5B backlog, and a EUR 1B-plus raise in June 2026 at a EUR 10B-plus valuation.
